Hello Kevin,
Could you please provide more details on this topic. It is not clear what is the requirement.
As per my understand Yes, we can install MSP and Schedule-connect in Virtual Machines. Please make sure they all are on same network.
Also when user perform the Uninstall of the CA PPM Microsoft Project (MSP) on there machine make sure they perform below steps. Sometime we have found user face some issue to uninstall the MSP.
Sometimes, due to permission restrictions or other issues on the machine, some of the MSP components do not get uninstalled on their own. If that is the case, a manual uninstall is needed to remove the remaining components. Doing a clean uninstall / install is especially recommended if running into issues during an upgrade of the MSP Interface.
Follow below steps:
Below are the steps to do a clean uninstall:
- Uninstall the following components from Control Panel:
CA PPM Microsoft Project Interface
CA PPM Schedule Connect
CAClarityAddin
- Clean out the Registry
On the workstation, go to Start and type 'regedit' in the search field. Select regedit.exe
Select File -> Export and enter a File Name to store the back-up of the registry
Once finished creating a backup, delete the following keys if exist:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Niku
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Niku (You may need to drill down to the Wow6432 folder to get to the Niku folder: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Niku)
Please note that some of the keys may not exist; also, deleting each key will correctly delete all of their sub keys.
- Go to Add/Remove Programs again and check that there is no trace left of the products that you have removed at step 1
- Delete the following folders if they are listed (First make a backup of any views you may have saved in the folders if they are still there):
C:\CA\CA PPM MSPInterface
C:\CA\PPM Setups
C:\CA\PPM\CA PPM Schedule Connect
Please note that the folder location is dependent on where the MSP Interface was installed:
If you installed the 32 bit Interface, the folders may be instead found in: C:\Program Files (x86)
If you installed the 64 bit Interface, the folders may be instead found in: C:\Program Files
- Clean out Visual Basic:
In MSP, go to View > Macros > Visual Basic Editor
Expand ProjectGlobal, Expand Modules
Delete the modules that start with either CA_ and Niku_ (Right click the module and select 'Remove ...' (Example below)
Click ‘No’ to the message that pops up ‘Do you want to export <Module Name> before removing it?’
–(That is asking if you want to export the files, which is not needed)
Expand Microsoft Project Objects, Double-click on Thisproject
Select everything in the right panel and delete it
Save and exit VB
- Verify correct Trust Center Setting:
Go to File > Options> Trust Center > Trust Center Settings
Make sure "Enable all macros" is selected.
- Reinstall the MSP Interface.
Ensure the bit level of the MSP Interface being installed matches that of MSP.
Also make sure the version being installed is the same version and patch level as that of PPM. It can be found in PPM by going to Home->Account Settings->Software Downloads.
